1900 belong to the 10th or the goth cen.
tury Here are two simple questions, to
each of which there can be but one cor
rect answer And yet it is wonderful the
amount of printers ink that has been
wasted in giving to the world some of the
most foolish solutions, and most absurd
reasonings. Win some school boy or girl

The Democratic Party. This party is
destitute of all principle, or principles,
moral or otherwise. They will do any
thing to gain power, and when gained,
will do everything to retard progress.
They are the cess-pool party Of stagna-
ton. Out of the seyenty.six votes cast
against the dependent Pension Bill re-
Gently pending before Congress, seventy
five of tho votes were by the Southern
Bourbons. Those high-strung Bourbons
made our brave men pensioners, but they
do not care to pay them pensions. The
same thing also was noticeable at the
time the 18th Amendment was pending
| before Congress. Out of the hfty-six
votes against it in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes, every one was a Democrat,
and of course, from the North at that

Also the rebellion would have been
crushed much sooner had there been an
active, energetic General IN the place of
the snail moving Mcclellan. Lincoln sure

he did. 1t was the opinion of many
eminent persons of the time that Nc
Clelan and some of his subordinates
should have been arrested and tried for
disobedience and characterization. And
many others in high positions declared
that he ought to be shot for his military
offenses. "Little Mac was surely the
biggest fizzle OF the whole rebellion. Lin

The same ''magnanimosity" is shown
in respect to the admission of Dakota in
to the sisterhood Of States. Every one
knows the reason of Democratic opposi-
